The relationship between asbestos and cancer is that exposure to asbestos can cause some forms of cancer in some of the people who are exposed. In particular, exposure to airborne asbestos has been associated with lung cancer and mesothilioma, a cancer of the lining of the chest cavity and lungs.
Asbestos has been known for years to be one of the leading causes of lung cancer.
While the term " asbestos cancer " most often refers to mesothelioma, a number of other cancers are associated with asbestos exposure. Lung cancer, for example, is a direct result of asbestos exposure, and some studies have suggested an association between asbestos exposure and gastrointestinal and colorectal cancer. Mesothelioma cancer is the only asbestos-related cancer almost exclusively caused by asbestos. Mesothelioma can develop after someone inhales or ingests elevated amounts of asbestos over time. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the United States and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration calls it "the greatest health risk for American asbestos workers." Asbestos-related lung cancers are diagnosed more frequently than any other type of asbestos-connected disease. The Environmental Working Group estimates that between 5,000 and 10,000 asbestos-related lung cancer fatalities have occurred each year over the span of the last two decades.
If you have an asbestos problem in your building, then yes, you should consider hiring an asbestos attorney. However, you should probably first make sure there is an architectural problem before doing so
Mesothelioma IS lung cancer.
Asbestos is a direct cause of lung cancer. This relationship was first determined in 1925. Nonsmokers exposed to asbestos are five times more likely to develop lung cancer than other nonsmokers.
There are studies that link asbestos exposure with certain types of cancer. There are many class action lawsuits pertaining to this issue. Please seek medical assistance if you believe you could be affected by asbestos exposure.
